- mnd999 6y agoI don’t think that is the goal, no.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoThere was always a tension between the Internet and Ethernet guys, the Internet guys have won, so Ethernet-specific concept like MAC adresses are on their way out ?
- mnd999 6y agoNot at all - MAC is layer 2, IP is layer 3.
- BlueTemplar 6y agoYes, and the two layers are represented by different political groups, each of which is trying to dominate.
